1. UglyDolls Card Game

This kid's card game is my personal favorite. You have to place all the cards face down on the table, and flip them over in turns until 3 matching Uglys are found. We were in splits as we raced against each other to pick up the three matching Uglys screaming Ugly Ugly Ugly all along the way! This kid's card game is so simple and yet offers tons of excitement. Rapid-fire paced, challenging and competitive, this UglyDoll Card Game is good for 2 - 6 players, kids aged 6 and up.
